Planted Spring 2021
Once again I thought this was Old Faithful but " An award winning variety with stunning rose shaped blooms. Flowers are a true red, the reddest Peony you'll find, and as an added bonus, a stunning yellow center when fully opened."

I think this is the Armani Peony but thought the Armani was "Armani is one of the darkest peonies we've ever seen. Ruby-red flowers evolve to a beautiful burgundy-red." Will continue to observe the flowers through the years to confirm.
